Found: site of Saxon religious house?

Could this be one of England’s oldest nunneries? The Western Daily Press reports:

One of England’s oldest nunneries could lie in the garden of a museum dedicated to one of the West’s most famous sons. It emerged yesterday that, alongside the oldest inhabited castle at Berkeley, archaeologists may have found the site of a Saxon religious house.
Experts from Bristol University have been carrying out geophysical surveys in and around the Gloucestershire town, including in the gardens of the Edward Jenner Museum.
In the shadow of the castle and near the town’s ancient church, interesting shapes have been discovered.
Many believe they could be the foundations of a ninth or 10th century nunnery. Another religious house, an abbey occupied by monks, is believed to be nearby. Records show two abbots from Berkeley became bishops of Worcester in the seventh and 10th century. [continue]
